Unikko

(Poppy)

The Unikko pattern was designed by Maija Isola in 1964 after Marimekko's founder, Armi Ratia, announced that Marimekko would never print a flower pattern. In protest, Maija Isola created an entire series of floral prints. One of them was Unikko, which is now Marimekko's most iconic pattern.
